Chapter 40 Night Walk

Please remember our website address and wish you all a happy reading! Don’t forget to spread the word.

Tongcheng has become a relatively famous place in recent years, not because of its economy or its snacks, but because of its college entrance examination.

For most senior high school students across the country, the Tongcheng mock test paper is comparable to the Huanggang secret test paper.

Of course, these things originally had no impact on Zhou Ze. His bookstore had long since gotten rid of its dependence on the "living business".

It has completed the upgrading and transformation of the industrial structure and is making money from dead people.

However, the fat man who came to find him last time found him again.

The purpose is very simple. The next semester is the college entrance examination semester, and Fatty plans to start a bigger business, engaging in pirated secret papers business.

There should be many twists and turns, and even an extremely complicated chain of interests. Zhou Ze is not very clear about it. In fact, Zhou Ze believes that Xu Le will not be aware of it either.

The reason why Fatty planned to recruit Xu Le into his group last time and this time was because he wanted to take advantage of some of Xu Le's classmates' relationships.

Xu Le in this room is actually a person who satisfies both parties.

Stupid and unlucky,

But the most reassuring.

Piracy is an unavoidable obstacle in domestic social life nowadays, and even the so-called "copycat" trend derived from it seems to be vigorous and in full swing, and it has even begun to gradually break away from the category of derogatory terms and start to develop into sexual terms.

But after all, it is illegal. Although the current trend makes this phenomenon almost universal, it is always a very troublesome thing if you are unlucky and get caught.

Zhou Ze rejected the fat man, and the fat man left a little unhappy. Before leaving, the fat man standing at the door lit a cigarette and touched his gold chain where the gold dust had fallen.

He cursed:

"Sabi."

Zhou Ze continued to sit behind the counter and read a book. Fatty's visit was nothing more than a small episode in his life during this period.

As usual, the female corpse sat on a chair with her eyes closed after cleaning the bookstore, leaning against the wall, as if she was in a daze or dozing off.

The lives of two people are tainted with the atmosphere of an old lady's foot-binding cloth.

Zhou Ze felt pleased with himself, thinking of what he looked forward to most in his previous life, which was living the way he does now, wasting time, reading books, and being in a daze.

There is no need to be ready to face emergency cases at any time, and there is no need to urge yourself to climb up bit by bit all the time.

For the female corpse, she has been lying in the coffin for two hundred years and has long been accustomed to boredom and silence. Now, it is just drizzle.

Compared with the "calm as water" in the bookstore, Xu Qinglang is much more high-spirited and motivated. He has a rich net worth and does not really have much pursuit of metaphysics. Instead, he thinks about how to make money and develop by relying on his own abilities.

Because of this, Xu Qinglang was very unhappy with the decadent style of the master and servant in the house next door!

"Look at you, you are too lazy to act like a dead person every day." Xu Qinglang came over to smoke a cigarette after a busy day as usual and mocked Zhou Zepo.

"I am a dead person." Zhou Ze waved his hand and blew out a smoke ring.

"Look at you, you have lived two lifetimes and now you don't have much money. I am a man who owns more than 20 houses and I am still working hard."

As usual, after belittling Zhou Ze, you have to praise yourself.

Zhou Ze glanced at Xu Qinglang and smiled: "Are you preparing a dowry for yourself?"

"Ivory cannot come out of a dog's mouth." Xu Qinglang raised his head and looked at the night sky (rooftop), "I want to live a more comfortable life when I retire in the future."

"Twenty or so villas have attracted many people to come. 8 The sedan chair will take you back to get married. If you work harder, make more money, buy more houses, next time you will strive for some female ghost queen or something who feels like you are the right match." Now, even a bastard like me can follow you and get some glory.

If you want wealth and honor, don't forget each other. "

"Haha." The female corpse next to her was very cooperative with her boss.

"It's almost 8 o'clock, I have to get ready." Xu Qinglang looked at the time and said.

"What to do?" Zhou Ze was a little surprised.

Under normal circumstances, Xu Qinglang goes to bed very early in the evening.

"Today is the day when the temple opens. Isn't it the college entrance examination in a few months? I have a relative's child in my hometown who will take the college entrance examination this year and asked me to go to the temple to burn incense for him."

"Are you willing to do this?" Zhou Ze knew Xu Qinglang's temperament and said that he was indifferent and selfish, even though he was a little too lazy to care about anything other than making money.

"I ate from his family and received relief from him when I was a child. Otherwise, I don't know if I would have survived until the demolition, so I have to repay the favor." Xu Qinglang said seriously.

"Yeah." Zhou Ze nodded.

"How about we go together?" Xu Qinglang suddenly invited, "Help me get a head start?"

"Is the incense rare in temples?"

"Hey, it's always a good thing, isn't it?"

"I don't have much strength." Zhou Ze has seen how crazy those people who compete for the top spot can be. He has such a weak body that he really can't stand it. Unless he uses his nails to open a way, he can't knock down everyone around him, can he?

"Ask her." Xu Qinglang pointed at the female corpse, "She is as strong as an ox, help me carry it."

The female corpse frowned, preparing to sarcastically say something.

"Do you want to go out for a walk?" Xu Qinglang raised his eyebrows.

The female corpse immediately swallowed the words on her lips and smiled like a flower for a while.

These days, she has never left a bookstore.

There was no other way, Zhou Ze could only nod in agreement. He was worried that the female corpse would run out alone. Even though she was as considerate as a maid now, people's hearts were separated from each other, let alone a zombie without a "heart"?

Zhou Ze even believed that if one day his abilities disappeared, the first person to eat up his flesh and blood might be the current female corpse who was so servile to him.

The three of them took a taxi and arrived at the temple. It's a bit exaggerated to say that the temple was crowded with people outside, but it was also packed with three layers inside and three outside.

I pity the hearts of parents in the world.

Xu Qinglang met the relative and his wife he mentioned outside the temple. They were two young people who looked very loyal and honest.

Of course, their son didn't come. Everyone was competing for a chance to win, but no one was so naive as to believe that this was really good. There were basically no people of school age at the scene. They were all studying at home. of.

The temples in Tongcheng "clean their doors" after the New Year. As for why it is not done before the New Year, it may be that the masters in the temple feel that it is a bit humiliating to compete with those gangs of ghosts, ghosts, snakes, mountain spirits and wild monsters for incense during the Chinese New Year.

It would be better to do it after the New Year,

Seeing that there are only a few cars and horses in front of your door, but there are so many believers here, I show my B character.

As for the specific reasons and what it is like in other parts of the country, Zhou Ze doesn't know. Customs means inexplicable rules. Who can tell clearly?

Just like the incident that has been a hot topic on the Internet these days, the father-in-law from the city next door to Tongcheng kissed his daughter-in-law at his wedding, and it can be related to the so-called custom, which makes no sense.

"Creak" sound,

The mahogany door was opened,

For a moment, the parents waiting outside turned into "ferocious beasts" one by one and rushed into the temple.

The female corpse took the lead, followed closely by Xu Qinglang and his relatives and his wife, much like Zhao Zilong's posture at Changbanpo.

Zhou Ze didn't join in the fun, he squatted on the curb outside the door and smoked.

While smoking, Zhou Ze unexpectedly found that the cigarette butt in his hand suddenly went out.

Zhou Ze ordered it again, but the next one he smoked suddenly became tasteless.

"Haha." Zhou Ze threw down the cigarette butt and looked around. He knew clearly that his cigarette was being offered as incense.

Don't eat the fragrance, ignore the tributes,

Just to smoke this mortal cigarette,

I don’t know what kind of monster he is.

Zhou Ze naturally didn't have the anger of "Fuck, you dared to steal my cigarette". He was a stowaway a month ago, and he became a temporary worker half a month later.

There is no such thing as "chickens and dogs ascending to heaven" and "I opened this road".

"Clang!"

A gong sounded,

On this night, it seemed so abrupt and harsh.

Zhou Ze looked over at the sound,

In the flower garden behind the temple, a short dwarf old man walked out. The old man was holding a gong in his hand and a cigarette in his mouth as he skipped out.

The old man glanced at Zhou Ze, opened his mouth, and blew out a smoke ring, as if to express his gratitude to Zhou Ze for the cigarette.

Zhou Ze also laughed,

He lit all the remaining cigarettes in his hand with a lighter and placed them one by one on the ground, leaving only one to smoke.

Soon, all the cigarettes placed on the ground were extinguished, and the old dwarf danced even more happily. He seemed to be more and more pleased with this young man who could cause trouble. His small pocket was bulging, and he should be full of cigarettes.

The dwarf old man opened the way with his gong,

Behind him, a group of people slowly followed.

Not the parents who just crowded into the temple,

But a group of people dressed in strange costumes.

The first few, wearing feather fans and silk scarves, staggered and looked defeated, walking slowly forward following the old man's footsteps.

After that, there were two others with big greasy braids and dull eyes, but they still followed the old man forward.

After that, some people's clothes began to become more and more modern, and the last few even wore modern clothes, no different from ordinary high school students.

However, some of their faces were pale green, and some had broken skulls.

Out of professional habits, Zhou Ze quickly analyzed that the next few students either died of poisoning or jumped from the building.

One of them, Zhou Ze, looked a little familiar. It seemed that I had seen his picture when I was reading the news a few years ago. Because he performed abnormally in a mock exam, he committed suicide by jumping off a building under pressure.

The dwarf old man walked forward while banging the gong, and the group of "scholars and students" behind him followed them like puppets on strings.

They were like a parade,

Go around the temple in circles.

And nearby pedestrians,

No one can see them except Zhou Ze.

"boom!"

A gong sounded,

"You don't need to build a high-rise building to live in peace, books have their own golden house!" the dwarf old man shouted in a hoarse voice.

"boom!"

Another gong sounded,

"Don't hate an unscrupulous matchmaker when marrying a wife. The book has its own beauty!"

The dwarf old man continued to shout.

After walking around the temple three times,

This strange team slowly disappeared.

A few moments,

After offering incense, parents began to leave from the temple

walk out,

With satisfaction on their faces,

With expectation,

With the earnest hope that his son will become a dragon.
